Can you add other nutrients to Happy Frog soil? Going to be repotting my girl into a bigger pot and was wondering if you can add other nutrients to Happy Frog soil, ya know?

Yes, no problem (it’s just dirt).
Nice, thank you!Yes, no problem (it’s just dirt).
What's in the soil and I mixed in some blood meal and bone meal. That's about it.What nutrients do you plan on using?
I am a new grower but i am using ff happy frog soil. One seedling, outta 3, had a little burn on 1st round leaf. Nothing added. It recovered just fine. I didn't add anything till 1-2 weeks into flower, just like Newbie Ted. Soil seems to have enough nutes or whatever, In it for quite some time. A more experienced grower suggested to just look for yellowing of lower leaves before adding anything. Seems like good advice. Then I went 1/3 to 1/2 of recommended dose. Just like watering, less is better. Or more accurately, go light till you get the hang of it- reading the plant for it's needs. So yeah, x2 on above replies.What's in the soil and I mixed in some blood meal and bone meal. That's about it.
That’s weird, Ocean Forest is a hotter and heavier amended blend then Happy Frog. HF is great for starting seedlings to first feed after the first initial 3 weeks or so. But I am also not growing autosI grow autoflowers in ocean forest but could only get happy frog a hotter mix, at 3 weeks i start feeding botanacare pro grow lightly this time bc of happy frog i cut my nute dose to 1ml per US gal, this auto got it's first feed 2 days ago.

what was your logic in adding what you added and in those amounts? what aspect did you improve?
By looking at mine could it be an autoflower?I grow autoflowers in ocean forest but could only get happy frog a hotter mix, at 3 weeks i start feeding botanacare pro grow lightly this time bc of happy frog i cut my nute dose to 1ml per US gal, this auto got it's first feed 2 days ago.

Hey bud, I've never used Gaia green. It's expensive in Michigan. Have you ever used Dr Earth? That's what I use with my happy frog/perlite/EWC mix (I like to keep things VERRY simple). Im curious if Gaia Green is better, if it's different, any advantages or disadvantages?Depending on how long you veg for yea but if it's a 1 or 2 week veg just wait until flip and top dress gaia 2 8 4 or equivalent and you are set
Personally i use about 1/3 of the label recommendation on gaia and never have an issue. That's how I afford it I use less and if you have a short veg happy frog can carry you until flower, at that point one top dress and h20 the rest of the way. A tip I learned was mix gaia in a maybe 1 inch worth layer of happy frog or whatever soil before you top dress it, just trust me there. Makes things so simple. Builda soil craft blend is on that same level. Build a soil is great for hands off h20 only grows. No nutes needed and if you use a 7 gallon pot like me. Then reuse the leftover soil it will still be viable and full of microbes so save money there as well, just get all the old roots out you can.Hey bud, I've never used Gaia green.

And I only grow autos in a 4x4 closet. Very simple setup seed to harvest. Appreciate it
